Introduction

Pervasive computing envisages a world of communicating miniature devices, sensors and actuators to provide ambient and personalised services. Building on the current technology, it is ready for a wide range of applications that support and gradually change our everyday life. The goal of ICPCA2008 is to further explore both theoretical and practical issues in pervasive computing. It also aims to foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration for both researchers and practitioners. The organising committee is soliciting paper submissions for the main conference and five of its special tracks, Pervasive Collaboration, Ubiquitous Learning, Smart Space, Ubiquitous Healthcare, and Application Platform for Pervasive Computing.

Following on the success of previous conferences in the series held in Urmqi, China (August 2006) and Birmingham, UK (July 2007), the 3rd International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Appilcations (ICPCA2008) features one generic technical track as well as five special interest tracks.
